Dawn's Song

Moon guardian I take your place

The morning approaches

It is time for me to sing my song

As the time marches

Night, night, hear my name

You know what to do, every day’s the same

Depart and with you take the stars

Quickly! The time passes fast!

Now gentle clouds with sunset blooms

Be quickly spun from heavenly looms

Dance across the fiery sky

Behind which sleeping stars lie!

Quiet ocean wake from your sleep

And let dolphins from your surface leap!

Let quick fishes in your waters dart

And feel the ocean’s beating heart

Quiet wind it is time to dance

Faster than a thrusting lance

Wake the flowers of the fields and the birds in the trees

Rise quickly morning breeze!

Now to wake the very last one

Turn Earth! Turn! To the rising sun!

Let the world hear dawn sing!

And jointly welcome the morning!

There now my song is done

I give my place to the sun

And while I slumber let my song linger on

And fill the souls with the peace of morn

May K.
